A Little Challenge??

[British Tommy]

I'm up to minute eight at the moment and a lot has happened!
My first part of the cunning plan was to move my infantry towards the woods, close to the fords there. A platoon meanwhile was moving towards the church and the buildings where I hoped they could provide covering fire. I also placed four tanks on that side of the map to support those infantry moving towards the church. Halfway through the set up the wife called me :mad: When I got back in front of the computer, I hit the GO button and in horror realised I had forgotten to set up the infantry on my left Stupidly I quickly drew a blue box around them and gave them a move to contact order and turned my attention to the main force. Here's a screenshot:

Turn one replay starts....HOLY SHEET!! ..... my armour starts rapidly getting knocked out but by what?? I scan the map and then spot the pillbox! As the knocked out tank crews flee their burning vehicles, those horrible Russians start dropping mortar shells..... and here's the result :hissy:

Meanwhile my infantry heading towards the church and nearby buildings start eating dirt ....... nasty evil bunker with a MG. Worse still, I then check my left flank and that big bunch of infantry I gave a move to contact to are in a right mess. Mortar shells are falling everywhere so with great difficulty I order them to fall back to the woods behind them.
The good news: I've managed to get a large part of my infantry into the woods near the fords and as I saved the turn, I have two platoons advancing across the ford under quite a bit of fire but I think they should make it as both arty spotters are plastering the area near the bridge and flags.
I haven't gone into too much detail in case I give too much away and spoil other players fun.
I just hope GHQ don't put me in front of a firing squad at the end of the battle :(
More to follow! :)
